Thunderstruck

Lila walked through her front door less than half an hour later tossing her shoes on the mat beside the door an letting out a yawn. She leaned up against the back of the door and closed her eyes. She reached down and grabbed her phone from her clutch and texted Jamie a simple 'alive' before tossing it on the couch and heading towards the bathroom to shower. Pulling her shirt off she looked herself over in the mirror and noticed the purple marks at the base of her neck. 'Jesus Tyler', she mumbled to herself running a hand over them. Sighing she stripped the rest of her clothes off and headed towards the shower.
Twenty minutes later she was out of the shower, standing in her room towel drying her hair in the comfiest pair of sweats she could think of putting on that day, when she heard the front door open. As she tossed the towel into her laundry hamper she heard him call out.
"What degree of alive are we talking here? Couch, or still under a mound of covers?"
Lila walked out of her bedroom giving him a look he had seen many times before.
"Holy shit. You're already walking alive? It's not even 5pm."
"You're making a lot of smart ass comments for a man who hasn't handed over food yet."
She walked past him heading to the couch, plopping down and waiting for him to follow. As he sat the food in front of her on the coffee table she tossed him the remote that was on the arm of the couch beside her.
"Your pick today Captain."
He looked over at her as she opened the styrofoam container that held the greasy wonders she was so craving and nudged her shoulder.
"You know I hate it when you call me that."
"Should have thought about that before you got that big obnoxious victory green C on the front of your jersey, stud."
She smiled and shovelled a forkfull of hashbrowns into her mouth.
"You're really annoying sometimes, you know that?"
"Well ain't that the pot calling the kettle black."
Lila didn't even bother to look up from her breakfast, but she could feel Jamie staring into the back of her head. He sank back into the couch, turning on the tv.
"I think I know why you live alone, Li."
She arched a thin brow and turned her head towards him.
"Sure doesn't feel like I live alone. I've got a big fun killer that constantly comes over."
"Fun killer?"
"Like you thought I was just going to let your attitude yesterday fly. You know me better than that James."
He rolled his eyes at the use of his fake full name, a name Lila had called him when she was mad at him since before he could remember.
"I was kinda hoping that maybe you would let it go just this once considering it is my first season as captain."
"Thought you didn't want to be called that."
She smiled smugly at him. He rolled his eyes at her again and threw an arm up on the back of the couch turning his full attention to the channels he was currently surfing. She shook her head and continued to finish the rest of her breakfast in peace.
When she was done the last bite she closed the container and turned towards Jamie.
"You know, even the captain needs to get out and have fun every once and a while or else it's gonna be a really dry season. For the boys and for you."
She leaned across the couch, pressing a small kiss to his cheek and hopped up grabbing the garbage off the table and heading towards the kitchen. Tossing her container in the garbage she grabbed 2 gatorades out of the fridge and headed back towards the living room. She threw the blue one at Jamie and plunked down again, grabbing a hair tie off the coffee table.
"So exactly what fun did I miss last night?"
"The fun that is the amazing company of your teammates and best friend." She smiled at him finishing the messy bun she was currently creating on the top of her head.
She saw his eyes narrow and focus on something and looked at him weird.
"Seems like I missed a little more fun too." He said reaching out and poking the purple marks on her neck.
Immediately she regretted putting her hair up, or not wearing a turtle neck. "Oh like you've never come back from a good night out with a couple more marks than you left with."
"None of the guys saw you leave with anyone. You're getting sneakier as you get older Lil."
"Yeah, well you're a little too old to have your teammates spying on me when you're not around, aren't you?"
He ignored that comment and moved on, "another one night stand, or are we actually going to meet this one?"
"Oh hell no. One night, that's it."
"You know, one day you're going to have to find one guy to stick to or else you're going to run out of guys. Plus, it might just be good for you."
"Yeah, well maybe I could say the same thing for you."
"I don't sleep with half the state of texas."
"Maybe that's your problem! Ever think you might be a little less cranky if you got laid every once and a while captain? Or wait, would that get in the way of your captainly duties?"
Jamie groaned and pushed her head away from him. "I'm done with you."
"You keep saying that, but yet you keep coming back.
